Revolutionizing Plus-size Furniture: Carstone Bariatric Chairs

SOMERSET, Ky., June 29 /PRNewswire/ -- In response to overwhelming consumer demand for a more economical, yet extremely durable and versatile plus-size chair, Carstone Seating is thrilled to unveil its radical new 51100 series bariatric chair at the 23rd annual meeting of the American Society for Bariatric Surgery in San Francisco, California.

Living up to the hype surrounding its release, the 51100 was honored to receive recognition ahead of its ASBS showing. Out of a field of several hundred new products, the 51100 was chosen by the editors of the prestigious Outpatient Surgery Magazine to be featured in its 2006/2007 Manager's Guide to New Products for Surgery. This publication is a comprehensive, illustrated review of the most innovative products to hit the market over the last 12 months. This inclusion is concrete evidence that the 51100 is a seating revolution in bariatrics, worthy of acclaim.

In addition to its well established plus-sized seating line, Carstone designed the 51100 specifically for those facilities looking for a bariatric chair which is less expensive and more adaptable. It was modeled after our ever popular model 1100, yet created to handle the rigors of the bariatric environment, making it a perfect solution for conference areas and auditoriums that receive regular heavy use. Thicker steel walls, additional support bars and firm, bariatric-capable foam allow the 51100 to not only stand up to demanding usage, but also stand out in a crowd of more expensive, less versatile furniture. Amazingly, the 51100 is no larger than the original 1100, even though it's rated to support up to 600 pounds. With the 51100, customers get a chair that can be stacked 8 high for storage and features a plethora of upholstery choices. With a starting price of well under $200, the 51100 is without a doubt the best value in plus-size seating today.
